C Dual Tcp/Ip Overview; Minimum Requirements For Dual Tcp/Ip; Using A Shared Network - Oracle StorageTek SL3000 Manual

Dual TCP/IP provides two separate connections between the library host (ACSLS or
ELS) and the HBC/HBCR controller card using primary port 2B and secondary port
2A. Dual TCP/IP prevents a loss of connection between the library and host by
automatically avoiding a failing communication path.

Minimum Requirements for Dual TCP/IP
ACSLS 7.1 with PUT0701 for Solaris or AIX. Oracle recommends ACSLS 8.1 or
■
above.
NCS 6.2 with the following PTFs for HSC/MVS/VM: SOS620 L1H168G, SMS620
■
L1H168F, and MSP: MSP PTF LF620DL.
The switch or router ports must be configured to auto negotiate. The SL3000 ports
■
are configured to auto negotiate by default and support 10/100 Mbps speeds.
Using a Shared Network
If you must use a shared network:
Directly connect the library to a switch or router that filters out undirected
■
(broadcast) traffic.
Place the library on its own subnet. This may protect the library from receiving
■
broadcast messages.
Use a managed switch or router to:

–
Oracle recommends a private network for maximum
Note:
throughput, minimum resource contention, and higher security.
Set priorities on ports to supply the host and library with higher priority.
